Our Globetrotting Gourmet® tour includes capital city Kunming and Shilin's "stone forest"; ancient Dali and Erhai Lake; Lijiang's three Unesco world heritage sites, plus ancient mountain villages little changed in time. Great accommodation, deli cious food, wonderful company. That's our Globetrotting Gourmet® winning recipe.

Yunnan altitudes are high, so if you suffer from any medical ailments please check with your doctor first. Kunming is 1900 meters high, Dali is 2200m, Lijiang is 2400m, and Zhongdian 3200m. By comparison, Lhasa in Tibet is 3700m, Mexico City 2240m and the mile-high city of Denver a lowly 1600m/5281 ft.
*To roughly convert meters to feet, triple the meters, then add 10%
Kunming & Lijiang hotels are 4-5 star, and best available in country locations. All accommodation have private bathrooms, heat and mod cons. Daily breakfast included at all hotels, plus most meals, private coach and guides.
